Abstract

The geodesic equations of a class of right invariant metrics on the semi-direct product $Diff(\mathbb{S}^1)$Ⓢ$Diff(\mathbb{S}^1)$ are studied. The equations are explicitly described, they have the form of a system of coupled equations of Camassa-Holm type and possess singular (peakon) solutions. Their integrability is further investigated, however no compatible bi-Hamiltonian structures on the corresponding dual Lie algebra $(Vect(\mathbb{S}^1)$Ⓢ$Vect(\mathbb{S}^1))^{*}$ are found.
